^^^^ Anti-pattern alert!

Now your IRQ latency depends on nr_cpus -- which is a fair fail. The
existing code is already pretty crap in that it has the preemption
latency depend on nr_cpus.

While I'm here looking at the HFI stuff, did they fix that HFI interrupt
broadcast mess already? Sending an interrupt to *all* CPUs is quite
insane.
